Pretretia Yvonne Hicks was born on May 26, 1951, in San Diego, California, to James
Chester Hicks and Ruby Jean Gaines. Pretretia was a devoted Christian. She was baptized at Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church and remained an active member until her passing.
She graduated from San Diego High School in 1969 and attended San Diego City
College. Pretretia became a mother at a young age to Myeisha Lobbins, and in 1973, she met the love of her life and married Drafton Dunlap. Together they had two sons, Cedric and Terrell Dunlap.
Pretretia dedicated 22 years of service to Kyocera, and worked as a lead assembler. In her spare time Pretretia wore many hats: selling Avon, African American Expressions products, and volunteering on services for Anderson Ragsdale Mortuary. She LOVED Bingo and playing games of chance (if you know what I mean). Aside from her joyful spirit, Pretretia was a giving woman. She never met a stranger and always gave from her heart.
She passed away peacefully with her family by her side on May 16, 2025.
